    The Biggest Videogame Spenders Live in New York

    Hialeah is basically a separate country within Florida. Mostly Cubanos. I find it funny Miami ranks so high XD.

    How is the Abomb taught in Japan ?

    You beat me to it. This pretty much sums it up. I could barely tolerate "teaching" English in the Japanese school system, let alone teach social studies given how much they just gloss over.

    Japan & US Getting Totally Different Metal Gear Solid HD Collections

    So I want to make sure as it seems a bit vague in the ensuing posts. Are the HD upgrades of MGS2 and 3 the Substance and Subsistence versions? I also will add to the peanut gallery that I'm not bothered about not getting the original MGS download code. My god, this and the Ico/SotC remake bundle...

    What MMO have you had the most fun in?

    I think I will be the first to mention this, but Anarchy Online. It was shit when it first came, but they really fixed it up. A bit hardcore ("twinking" in WoW is a joke compared to Anarchy Online), but it has one of the best and, in my opinion, most mature player base out there. I tried Eve...

    BioWare Auctioning Off Exclusive Goods for Japan Relief

    Motive doesn't necessarily have to imply a negative connotation. My motive for helping is because I have friends who live there. I would say that is a good motive. The Yakuza are essentially using money that they've been extorting from their communities for years to help and make them look good...

    BioWare Auctioning Off Exclusive Goods for Japan Relief

    From the sounds of it, you haven't done much to help. Philanthropy is NEVER done just for philanthropy's sake. People may rationalize that they are doing it from the sheer good in their heart, but they either do it to make themselves feel better or as a tax write-off. I donated because I have...

    BioWare Auctioning Off Exclusive Goods for Japan Relief

    I don't know why you have to be so negative on this. From what I can tell, you haven't done anything for Japan's current situation. I find it funny how people detached from the problem can sit back and criticize as if they know best. Until you do more than Bioware for Japan, you have no room to...

    BioWare Auctioning Off Exclusive Goods for Japan Relief

    PR or not, if the money goes where they say it goes, I ain't complaining. It's a chance for them to get rid of some product that might not be the best selling and it'll help my friends (once the Japanese government figures out how to allocate the money, but that is another issue). As part of the...

    BioWare Auctioning Off Exclusive Goods for Japan Relief

    To all the naysayers, I think it's awfully rude that you even criticize them for donating anything. You get some cool gear and the money goes to a good cause. Maybe they saw an opportunity to get sell some of their harder to sell items but I really don't think that matters. They aren't obligated...

    Nintendo's Building a New, Massive, R&D Facility

    Aww, why does all the cool stuff happen in Kyoto while I'm away? Although I'm not sure I'd be really keen to go all the way down to kujo. Not much interesting is down there, maybe this will change it.

    The Empire versus The World Event Now Live

    So are people planning anything? Are there a lot of people doing this yet? So far, doesn't look like even 80 are ><.

    A Pair of Fallout Quizzes Straight From the Vault

    The action abe question screwed me over. For the life of me I cannot legitimately remember what weapon he used. I just did elimination, otherwise I might be right behind Atvomat_Nikonov in Fallout nerdiness.
